What are the rules of using profanity on this website?

Edit: grammer

Not required.

Something like the s word. If I say “compared to b, a feels more poopy” does not have the same effect as s word and asterisks or if I say “it’s a lot worse”. Hence strong words.

**** if I know, and it is spelled "grammar," not "grammer," dammit!

You hear this all the time in the media.
Talking heads say "_-word"...so what they hell do they thing goes through peoples' minds when they say the phrase, "_-word"? They might as well have said the friggin' word.

You have to get past the censors...............

It surprises me that within the past 10-15 years profanity in the written word has become widely acceptable. Seemingly "reputable" news, information, review, and opinion sites written by "professional" writers are full of language we would have considered too obscene to print. It is nice to occasionally find a site that uses a higher level of vocabulary and doesn't have to rely on profanity throughout the article.

I like the way you humorously sign off below. And, I do get the joke. Now, I'd like to suggest that you pay lots of attention to SYNTAX in some of your posts . It is a bit difficult to follow some of your sentence structures. Of course, I'm probably the only one on the board that has this problem. Maybe not. Respectfully, Ace
